Tho Uocr delegates, Messrs. Fischer,
WcsjcIs and Crobler, who have also arrived
here, expressed to tho representative of
tho Associated 1'rcBS their earnest wish to
havo tho American peoplo with them In
their efforts to sccuro a termination of
the war. Thoy snld they knew Mr. Kruger
also appreciated American sympathy and
attlt hoped It would lead to practical ro
sults fivorablo to tho cause of his country.
Tho delegates, however, were unable to
ay exactly what Mr. Kruger would de
cide to do nftcr landing In France. Ho
probably will look around before Issuing
a declaration.
There Is much talk In Marseilles to the
effect that n couuter demonstration will
occur or that antl-Engllsh outcries may
bo rnlsed, which would result In Btruet
disorders. Hut neither tho prefect nor tho
American consulate officials nttach the
slightest Importance to these rumors.
A pro-Door committee has Issued an ap
peal, roples of which wcro posted this
afternoon, calling on the people to cheer
for Mr. Kruger and tho Doers, hut to ro
fraln from any nnglophobo demonstration.

"Tho crowd III tho streets to witness the
arrival of Mr. Kruger," B.ild tho pcrefct of
tho department today, "will probably ex
ceed 100,000, which Is a fifth of tho popula
tion of Marseilles. Neverthless, no disor
der, In my opinion, will occur. Tho sym
pathies of tho InhabltantB aro undoubtedly
with tho Doers ami Mr. Kruger will rocelvo
a rousing reception; but, except for n few
Isolated crier, ugalust England, which It will
bo Impossible to prevent, but which will bo
promptly repressed If tho peaceful character
of tho demonstration seems likely to bo In
amy way Jeopardized, wo expect nothing that
would "offend tho English. Wo llvo boro on
tho best terms with tho English colony and
wish to remain so. Mr. Kruger will meet
with Buch nn official reception us Is always
given to tho chief of a stuto when traveling
Incognito."
M, Klasslorcs, tho mayor of Marseilles, ex
pressed himself In similar terms, tut this
optimism Is not shared entirely by soruo
members of tho English colony who havo
discerned pnld agents In tho nnglophobo
caUBO among eomo of tho recent nrrlvals.
Tho perfect haB been known to bo au en
ergetic man nnd ho has taken Btrong pro
cautions, and the garrison, numbering about
6,000 men, will bo held In readiness, but out
of sight, at tho Infantry barracks lu close
proximity to tho Drltlsh consulate, whero no
uneasiness Is felt,
Amorlcans hero now recall tho thoughtful
ness of tho prefect at tho time of tho Spanish-American
war, when tho multitude of a
certain section of tho Marseilles population
was uncertain. Quito unsolicited tho pre
fect sent a fow detectives to tho United
States consulate, which was thus entirely
unmolested. Ho Is doing as much now' for
tho British consulate, which Is tho only
notlccablo HrltUh building In Marselllco.
It usually happens that several UrltlBh
mcrchantment aro lu tho harbor and hun
Ireds of Drltlsh Bailors Invariably como
whoro when thero Is any function of popular
Interest In progress. Their prosenco at n
tlmo llko this would Invito disorders, but
the harbor Is completely denuded of Drltlsh
ships, tho last having Balled this afternoon.

Tho Doer delegates fullly appreciate tho
disadvantages accruing to their cause from
tho fact that tho French welcome to Mr.
Kruger is mainly engineered by tho anil
mlnlstorlal! party, thus detracting im
mensely from Its political Importance.
Mc3ars. Fischer nnd WcsbcIh, who wero
Interviewed by the correspondent of tho
Associated I'rcos this afternoou, expresseed
regret at tho partisan character which tho
demonstration Is assuming. Thoy com
pared It with tholr welcomo In the Unlt-jd
Btntcs by tho democrats, which, they de
clared, had prejudiced tho republicans
against them. Doth Insisted, howevor, that
thn results of tho American elections havo
In no way modlflod their hope that tho
United States would yet support tho Doer
causj.
"Tho United States," said Mr. Fischer,
"remains n forco In tho councils of clvt
llz.ed nations nnd wo trtiBt this forco will
eventually be used In bringing tho war to
such an ond as will protect our rights.
Bo atrocious havo been tho cruelties prne

SLASHING WAR REVENUE TAX
Republican Members of Ways and Means
Committee in Council,

the Interim! Revenue" llurenu
Cnl led Into Counultntioii.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. The republican
members of the ways and means committee
met today to consider a measuro for tho
reduction of the war revenue tax. Tho
most important action taken was a do
clslon not to remove tho tax of 10 ccnta a
pound on tea. Tho commltteo will not
take up or disturb tho tariff on Imports,
nn tho members claim It would open up
tho whole subject of tariff revision.
Tho commltteo will not grant any hear
lngs whllo framing tho bill, as full hear
Ings were given during tho last session
of congress and since then brlofs and state
mcnts of various Interests hnvo been ro
celved. Turtles who nro Interested, how
ever, can fllo briefs or statements with tho
commltteo.
Secretury Ongo and Commlsloncr Wilson
of tho Internal rovenuo bureau wero be-
foro tho commltoe for somo tlmo this aft
crnoon. Tho socretnry told tho committee
that In his opinion thero might bo a re
duction in roveuues of $30,000,000. The
war revenuo net now raises about $100,000,
000. Commissioner Wilson wont over tho
schedules with tho members of tho com
mlttce and f both ho nnd Secretnry Oago
wcro questioned as to whero tho reduc
tions could bo made to tho best advantage
from the treasury view point.
HcIinlnleM Under Connldernt Innr
A considerable part of tho discussion was
confined to schedule B, which taxes medlcl
nal and proprietary articles and. prepara
tlons, perfumery, cosmetics, chewing gum,
wines, etc. Thero was also discussion of
stamp taxes. Tho discussion Indicated
that tho commlttoe favored quite a cbango
In this feature of tho law and reduction!
whbrevcr possible. Tho commltteo also do
Blrcs to eliminate tho taxes on convey
nnccs, of which thero has been a great
deal of complaint.
It can bo stated tint In a general way
It will bo tho aim of tho commltteo to
abolish tho most burdeusomo tnxes nnd to
grant relief from stamp taxe3 as far as
possible.
Tho commltteo lato In tho day called on
the president to obtain his vlows on tho
proposed reduction. Tho commltteo will
moot again tomorrow.
After there Iiob beon a general Inter
change of opinion on tho proposed reduc
tion, It Is quite likely that a sub-committee
will bo appointed to draft a meas
ure. It Is not bolloved tho hill can bo pre
pared and ready for tho full commltteo
until the session begins. Tho mensuro
lifter It is agreed upon by tho republicans
will be submitted to tho democrats of tho
committee.
Suggestion has been made that tho oleo-
mnrgarlno bill, now in tho house ralendnr
and made nspeclal order for December 6,
might bo made n part of the war revenuo
reduction. Ilcprcsontattvo Tawney, tho
father of tho oleomargarine bill, when asked
about this said that the oleomargarlno bill
would bo passed by tho houso early In tho
session, so that nn opportunity would bo
given to nseortaln If there was a disposi
tion to defeat tho measuro In the sonata
by any unusual delay. In such cbbo ho In
timated that the oleomargarlno bill might
be mado a part of tho revenue reduction
bill In the senate
Tho commltto's conference with tho pres
ident lasted lesB than nn hour. The com
mltteo and tho president agreed on tho
dostrnblllty of the reduction or abolition
of the war taxes whero thoy havo proved
annoying ond Irritating to the lutorcsts
involved and yet havo not produced very
much rovenue. Tho presldont bolloves tho
surplus in the treasury is accumulating
too rapidly and that consorvatlvo reduc
tions may bo mado safely or tho taxes en
tirely removed In somo Instances. Tho
republican members believe they will be
ablo to agree In a very fow days on the
general Una oi changes to be mado.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. Representative
Hopkins of Illinois, chairman of tho houso
commltteo on census, which committee will
have chargo of tho legislation nftccttng tho
apportionment of tho house, today expressed
tho opinion thai thero would bo no decided
effort during tho next session of congress to
decrease the congressional representation of
tho southern states becnuso of tho disfran
chisement of negroes. Ho said that In nil
probability tho subject would bo discussed,
but ho thought that upon tho wholo tho
committee would favor tho plan of baaing
representation upon the number of Inhabi
tants. Discussing tho general sobject of reappor
tionment Mr. Hopkins nald:
"The commltteo on census will meet dur
ing the first week of tho sesston to frame
a bill providing for reapportionment. I
thlnlt that a proposition will bo adopted
which will Increuso tho membership of tbo
houso. It has becu suggested that wo au
thorize ono member for every lys.iwu innnn-
Hants. That Becms to bo tho ratio that Is
In gonoral favor among members of tho
committee. This proposition would entail
on Increased membership of from fifteen to
twenty memborB.
According to calculations I havo mauo,
this reapportionment would add members to
tho house from Now York, Illinois nnd per
haps other states. States llko Nebraska and
Maine might loio members by tho proposed
law. Somo of tho southern stntcs might also
suffer from tho proportion ngrecd upon, al
though to what extent cannot now bo ascer
tained."

If parents could reallzo what n crime

apparent necessity for tha interstate com
merco commission nnd ho supposed that
condition existed elsewhere. What people
of tho country want, ho .Jcclnrcd Is cither nn
Interstate CQ"lmcrec commission with tho
power to act, or tho repeal of the law
under which It ramo Into being. Ho said
thnt under present conditions, with the
railroads discriminating, for Instance, In
favor, of wheat, which can bo shipped to
Europo nt a lower rnto than flour, tho
milters of Germany nnd England can turn
out with our grnln n product cheaper than
wo can put It In tho market there. Gov
ernor Stannard said tho farmers' Interests
must bo lookod nfter, but thought tho In
terests of thousands nnd tens of thousands
of manufacturers should also bo taken care
of also.
O. L. Whltelaw, president of tho Mer
chants' exchange, delivered an nddrcss of
welcome, at tho conclusion of which com
mittees on credentials, rules and resolu
tions wcro appointed by tho chair. E. P.
Dacon of Milwaukee was mado chairman
of tho commlttoe on resolutions, which con
sisted of fifteen prominent and representa
tive men A recess was taken until 2 p. in.
When tho committee on resolutions con
vened soon after recess had been taken
by the main body, it developed thnt there
was iome opposition to tho purpose for
which the meeting wns called. Mr. F. R
Thurbcr, president of tho National Hoard of
Trade, n member of tho cointnitte, It was
known, was against the proposed amend
ments to the interstate commerce com
mission. When Chairman Dacon presented
for adoption n memorial to congress, urging
tho passage of tho Cullom bill, T. C.
Simmons, president of the Simmons Hard
ware company of this city, and one of tho
member? of tho committee, mado a short
address against nny ouch action. Ho do
clared ho was opposed to tho purpose of the
campaign. Mr. Simmons then withdrew
from tho committee, saying ho bad mlsap
prehended the purposo of tho meoting,
which ho supposed was to discuss In n gen
ernl way tho proposed amendments cm
bodied In tho Cullom bill, nnd not to urgo
Its passage. Tho memorial was then
adopted.
Report of Commit tee Presented.
At tho afternoon session tho report of
tho commlttoe on resolutions wns pre
sented by Chairman Dacon, who explained
tho provisions of tho Cullom bill. Tho
roport consisted of a memorial to con
gress and suvctal resolutions, which were
considered nnd adopted seriatim, after
somo Blight amendment.
Martin S. Decker, ns tho secretary of
tho Interstate Commerco commission, who
was present, was requested to elucidate
f.oino points of tho present law and tho
proposed amendment for tho benefit of tho
delegates.
Ho was naked If the present lnw, as It Is
written or as it Is understood by tha In
terstate Commerco commission, ulvca that
body tho power to make rates. Mr. Decker
replied thnt tho commission can tnko no
Biich stop of Its own motion. It ennnot
make a tariff that tho carrier Is obliged
to use. Tho proposed amendments em
bodied lu tho Cullom hill, ho said, had
beon drawn up In tho light of tho com
mission's experience during tho last twelve
or fifteen years.
Mr. Decker was asked whether, It tho
Cullom bill wero passed, tho Interstate
Commerco commission, as now constituted,
cculd carry out Its provisions. He said It
could do ao. Tho commission, Mr, Decker
added, would havo to employ classification
experts, but ho saw nothing in tho law to
provent scuh action. Tho commission, how
cut, could mako no chnngo in rates or
classification, except upon complaint and
proof by shippers of unjust discrimina
tion against them.
Mr. V.'rapo of tho Tight Dnrrolslavo
Manufacturers' association moved thnt A.
G. Cockran. general solicitor of tho Mis
souri Pacific nnd Iron Mountain railroads,
who was present, be Invited to speak on
the subject from his standpoint, but tho
motion was tabled, as was also ono by
Mr. Thurhsr of Now York providing for
a commltteo of five to meet with n Blmllar
body of railroad men for the purposo of
deciding on somo Joint measure to tako the
plnco of tho Cullom bill. Tho latter mo
tion called forth constderabjo ncrlmontous
debate, In tho course of which Mr. W. H.
Mocrohouse of Toledo called Mr. Thurber
n wolf In Bheep'e clothing.
Tho chair was nuthorlzcu to appoint a
vlco president from each stato to help
carry on tho work.
After a short oxecuttvo session addresses
wero mado by K. M. Allen of St. Louis,
Judpo S. H. Cowan of Fort Worth, Tex.,
ind J. N. Lnngley of New York, favoring
tho bill.
After nn address by President Dacon

BROWN IS OVER CANADA LINE
Man M'lio Known Defaulter Well
ItcapoiiNlhlc for the State
ment. CINCINNATI, Nov. 20. According to a
dlepatch from Fort Wayne, Ind., Frank M.
Drown, late nsBlatnnt cashier of tho German
National bank of Newport, Ky., who, It Is
alleged, embezzled nearly $200,000 of tho
bank's funds, Is now In Cauada. Ho w.ib
seen and recognized In Fort Wayno yestor
doy by Fred J. Stono, an intlmato acquaint
ance, aud tho latter last night said that ut
9:30 o'clock Drown was in the Dominion of
Canada. Ho bad been Ih St. Louis, ns
already stated, whero ho was reported to
bo on his way to South America, but bo
changed his direction and camo through
Illinois and Indiana and thenco to Canada.
Tho reorganization plan which tho stock
holders aro to consider at a meeting to bo
hold Wednesday afternoon appears likely to
bo adopted. Tho stockholders aro liable to
a $100 assessment on ench share of stock,
which would bo n total loss If paid and
tho bank's affairs wound up. Tho plan Is to
mako tho assessment $145 per sharo, pro
ducing $145,000, nnd, using tbo $50,000 sur
plus, wlpo out tho defalcation and presorvo
tho llfo of tho bank. Dank Examiner Tucker,
In chnrge, says If this money Is raised tho
bank can Immediately open Its doors and
It Is understood the larger depositors aro
willing to hnvo that course taken.
Tho first suit brought In tho case of tho
bank was instituted today by Receiver
Tucker. It was In tho nature of a blanket
attachment on nil tho property of Frank
M. Drown and la to covor $30,000 of tho
shortage. This amount Is alleged to have
been taken within tho last twelve months
and includes tho first Itoms discovered In
tho shortage. The suit nlleges that Drown,
as nsslstant cashier,' fraudulently got pos
session of tbo money and has departed from
tho stato with intent to defraud his credl
tors. All that ho is known to possess will
bo attached at once. Tho attachment gar
nishes whatever of Drown's funds may bo
In the hands of Thomas II. Collins and
Edwnrd Smith and thoy nro mado parties
to It. Collins Is tho reputed partner of
Drown in a distilling compnny and Smith
wa his partner In tho mnnufacturo of a
patent blcyclo lamp. Other suits aro ex
pocted to follow.
No action will ho takon agalnBt Paris C.
Drown, ns bondsman for his son, Blnco he
and his wlfo aro tnklng'stcps to deliver to
tho bank directors or to tho recnlver'overy
portion of tholr tangible property, n Is
now said that United States Attornoy Hill
does not regard It necessary to comp to
Newport unleso Drown Is nrrosted, In which
caso his presonco would bo required, No
